Clearing The Decks 2024/25
2024 was a whole year consisting almost entirely of a single aside from my intended research and writing agenda. (Cut to the chase for 2025 Priorities?) It was the 50th anniversary of publication of Robert Pirsig's ZMM - his seminal "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". Helping to found the Robert Pirsig Association (RPA), getting it up and running on-line and supporting various #ZMM50th events became all-consuming.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the publishing of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
Update - All three #ZMM50th pieces in @USATODAY by George Petras & Veronica Bravo are now out there:
(1) The ZMM Book itself.
